PTD on Stage - Live Viewing: BTS announces theatrical release of their Seoul concert worldwide
With BTS on a break for the first time in two years and the news of multiple members of the group falling sick to Covid-19 or other medical emergencies, fans of the group were dearly praying for the recovery of their favorite boy group. BTS’ V became the latest member of the group to test positive for Covid-19 as of February 16 and only a day after that HYBE, the label that manages BTS announced the Seoul leg of their 2021 ‘Permission to Dance on Stage’ Concert.
While the ‘PTD on Stage - Seoul’ concert was announced to kick-off in March for three days, International fans of BTS, living outside America and South Korea suddenly felt left out. To curb this FOMO (fear of missing out) amongst ARMYs around the world, BTS had now announced a worldwide Live viewing of the BTS concert where fans from all over the world can group together at a theatre near them ‘Dance in Cinemas’ to enjoy the BTS concert that will take place in South Korea in March.
